The First Record I Bought:
There’s a couple I remember that I bought way back when, Talking Heads’ Remain in Light and Devo’s Are We Not Men, which I still have on vinyl and play to this day. The groove on Talking Heads’ Cross-Eyed & Painless still blows me away.
The Last Record I Bought:
David Bowie’s Black Star was the last album I bought. From start to finish it’s an amazing piece of work. He was such a visionary.
The First Thing I Recorded:
Steve and I started recording many years ago with a whole bunch of different bands. We had a band in the ‘90s called Steve Boyd and The Preachers and recorded 3 albums that did well locally.
The Last Thing I Recorded:
We recorded the Healers and Howlers EP at Newmarket Studios in North Melbourne late 2014. Steve and I are the core members in the band. Steve is lead vocals/guitar, I’m on drums/vocals, Craig Kelly on upright bass/vocals, Dave Williamson on saxophone, Dave Palmer on trombone. And if the budget permits, we add Tim Neil on keys.
The Record That Changed My Life:
The two records that still inspire me even to this day are the Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds and The Band’s Music from Big Pink. Both are such classic albums.
